Kellyn Acosta picks up assist, but US U-20 national team falls 4-1 to Hellas Verona Primavera

The US U-20 national team kicked off its three-game Italian stint in rocky fashion on Thursday, dropping a 4-1 decision to Hellas Verona's Primavera (U-20) side.

All seven MLS Homegrown players on the roster played, including FC Dallas' Kellyn Acosta (above, left), who set up the opening goal of the game with a feed to Ben Spencer in first half. Verona would equalize later in the half, and scored three more unanswered on New York Red Bulls 'keeper Santiago Castaño in the second half.
